John what is the explanation “in dollar terms” to use when I contact Costco?
BTW, I was in Europe the last three weeks and Apple Pay was accepted most places HOWEVER, I used it when I first got there and the next time I tried to use it the card was denied. Previous to going to Europe my wife had contacted the credit card company, twice, to let them know we were going to be in Europe but they hadn’t made note of it. Well, we got it straightened out. BUT My wife is “The Great Worrier” and she associated the card not working with my use of Apple pay. To keep her happy, and much to my frustration, I didn’t use Apple Pay in Europe. When she gets like that, there is not stopping her from worrying and freaking out. But it’s all good now. John, Thanks for persisting with your Apple Pay rants. You got me using it.
